Thanks, brad4419, for the book reference.

No problem Sal, I like chess as well as Go but the difference is that I get really competitive with chess and sometimes games can drag out for hours. With Go I feel much more relaxed and like its just for fun and is more about enjoying the company of the person your playing with rather than winning. Its also enjoyable to have a nice cuppa tea while you play

Sal, I hope you like it. The book might seem a bit complicated without a Go game set to see the moves on. If you don't have a Go game set maybe you could find a cheap game somewhere to get started and see if you like it. Some of the Go sets out there are pretty pricey but nice, that would be worth investing in if you enjoy the game enough.

hi, I play Go and love it! I an currently in China for 2 months to study Go. On that note I go into a tea place and its full of tea shops . There are about three floors of just tea shops, but there are no prices and not many english speakers.

For people wanting to start go or see what its like, the best site is KGS http://www.gokgs.com. Im based in London and am closly involed in the cenral and north london go clubs. My KGS id is spider451. Anyone intereted in playingh give me a buzz.
